To Audition For all of them b'y Peisner The ASCIT Musical by Flora Constanten If you are still interested in auditioning for the 1974 ASCIT Musical, Kiss Me Kate, your last chance is tomorrow, Saturday, January 26, from 1 to 5 p.m. in Baxter Humanities Lecture Hall. Lots of people are still needed who are interested in acting, singing, and dancing. So far this year there is a real shortage of women singers, es­ pecially for the chorus. If you have any interest at all, please come and audition. Dancers are still needed as well, especially if they are male (although females are still en­ couraged to tryout). It doesn't matter what kind of dancer you are, you are needed. Remember, if you are plan­ ning to sing, bring two copies of your music. Bring a photograph, too, if you have one. Most importantly, anyone is welcome to audition. Faculty, staff, and students; their spouses; and everybody else will be welcome. If you have any questions, call x2l57.
